Genetic Diversity: Analysis

Abstract

The course will provide hands-on training for advanced students (e.g. master, doctoral or post-doctoral level) in genomic data handling and analysis. The focus is on high-throughput nucleotide sequencing applications and data analysis with a strong emphasis on reproducibility and report writing.

Objective

The learning target is to understand the analysis of high-throughput molecular sequence data. We cover the fundamentals of bio-computing, and reproducibility is an integral part of the course. Exercises will help to better understand the theory. It is, however, not a copy-paste course, but a more applied data analysis with discussion.

Content

The Genetic Diversity Centre (GDC) has offered this lecture for over ten years. Last year’s lecture ( https://www.gdc-docs.ethz.ch/GeneticDiversityAnalysis/GDA21/site/ ) summarizes the content. We try to keep up to date and for this reason slight adaptations may occur.

Resources

Lecture Notes

Teaching materials and exercises will be available on the course website in due course (https://www.gdc-docs.ethz.ch/GeneticDiversityAnalysis/GDA/site/)

Literature

We will provide links to scientific literature and textbooks.
